We arrived today in Manchester for the second leg of the FIFA 10 ad shoot and immediately made a pilgrimage to Old Trafford to worship at the feet of Best, Law and Charlton, before preparing to meet some current footballing heavyweights tomorrow.

Last week in Barcelona - where our adventure began - we journeyed to five locations around the city to bask in the collective fame of some of European football’s biggest names. And to apply the factor 30 under the sizzling Catalan sun, which turned my timid Anglo Saxon skin lobster pink.

No such trouble here in Manchester where the constant cloud cover means I’m assured that my skin will once again return to it’s natural pallid hue.

Another guarantee is that we will press flesh with some of the Premiership’s biggest names at this shoot tomorrow. Names which are revered around the globe but must alas remain under wraps for now. But once the cloud clears and the time is right for the sun to once again burst through, I will illuminate you all as to their identity.

But for now, look to the skies and wait. Not too long now…
